Young Masai at male circumcision ceremony

Circumcision of the young man is one of the biggest events in a mans life. He now becomes a warrior. It is important that he succeeds the circumcision (eight cuts without anaesthesia) without showing the slightest sign of pain. Otherwise he brings disgrace on his mother, and his family in general.
